April 14th Match Summary

Second round, Super 8 Match held on April 13th...

At the lunch of the PS3 the company offered two versions of the PS3 for to meet the interests of diversed set people in Noth America and Japan. However within few months Sony found out that more than 90% of the sales were 60GB PS3's. In comparison, the 60GB PS3 offers,

• 60GB Hard disk
• More storage slots
• Built-in Wi-Fi

The initial supply was also done accordingly by providing more 60GB PS3's but based on the customer and retail feedback the company has decided to cease the offering of 20GB PS3. Sony is planning to focus more on the 60GB PS3 and improve this version in the coming months. According to the analytics the company can make better profits with the 60GB PS3 than the 20GB PS3 and they suspect that would have been another reason for Sony to stop shipping the $500 PS3.

Anyway for those of who are still looking for the 20GB model, can find it in shop shelves and on eBay. Nevertheless, the Wii is still on the top of the console wars and selling at a price of $250 and the newly arrived Xbox 360 Elite is also selling at a lower $480. However, there is also a chance of a price reduction in these competing products and this will surely pressurise Sony to drop the prices of the PS3.

An exclusive interview at semi-official Playstation Blog ‘Three Speech’ has quote Sony President of Worldwide Studios chief Phil Harrison saying that the PAL Euro PS3 (also on sale in Australasia, Africa and the Middle East) will run 1000 PS2 games, with more on the way.

The full list will we available from March 23 onwards at the Playstation website, with the interview saying that ‘Harrison would not be drawn on specific PS2 titles which will be playable on PS3 on March 23’, with Harrison specifically saying that “The situation is changing every day, but on March 23, we expect the list to include over 1,000 PS2 titles.”

When asked if the PS3 would play the big titles, Harrison responded that: “We can’t give any information about specific titles but, clearly, that would be our policy.”

Harrison also said to Three Speech that: “It’s very easy to over-react. We’re working to introduce a resource on the Web to detail which titles will have backwards compatibility. And as we make firmware upgrades, we will be able to add to that list.”

Interestingly, original Playstation (PS1) games are all expected to work on the PS3, with Harrison saying that “There will still be thousands of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 titles playable on the PS3 at launch.”, although there probably aren’t that many PS1 games played these days.

So, the PS3 will play at least 1000 PS2 games after all, or around 10% of the PS2’s software library at launch. Why didn’t Sony tell us this earlier when they told us all that the PS2’s ‘Emotion Engine’ chipset was being removed from the PS3? It would have softened the reaction somewhat, as people would at least have had a figure to focus on, instead of a vague ‘reduced compatibility’.

Of course, 1000 games certainly is a reduced compatibility, but at least we now know the number, and can expect ‘big titles’ to work on the PS3. We also seem to have a commitment from Sony that firmware updates will ensure that more titles work.
There’s no question that this revelation will not shut up the critics – very little ever does, as ‘more’ is always expected, and often (but now always) rightly so. But finally we have an official sign from Sony that they recognize their lack of transparency and information on the reduced PS2 compatibility has indeed generated a storm in a PS3 cup, one that could, and should, have been much better handled.

All Sony needs to do now is launch the PS3 in the rest of the world, and do everything they can to ensure people buy it. That, more PS2 backwards compatibility, the quick introduction of the movie and TV show download store, more movies on Blu-ray disc and a steady stream of new PS3 titles and Sony might just get what they want: the next-gen games console crown. So, Sony – stop playing with your station, and get back to work! :-p

Please stop Criticizing PS3 so much !

Is this something new or something i didn't have noticed before ? 

I forgot to say that I finished Carbon during the last week, I know im late very late, all the heat is gone but i didn't have a graphics card all this time, so i couldn't play lot of recent games.

Anyway got the best AGP card available on the market from ASUS.

its Nvidia 7600GS 256MB


I knw it doesn't sound very interesting but for the time being its enough for me i guess.

Its not like i can play lot of games during this year anyway ... so this should be enough for now.

A video published on Microsoft TechNet to demonstrate how they share our pain... they simply want us to feel better each time when we get a Send | Don't Send Error.
